If you are looking for an ecosystem expert, you have come to the right place . I am studying about ecosystems at the Amigos School. Food chains, food webs and energy pyramids are an important part of understanding ecosystems . Food chains and food webs connect organisms by what gives them energy (what they eat) and energy pyramids arrange organisms by the energy they pass on .
Project
My class has done a project about ecosystems . We organized into 4 groups and each got an ecosystem that we visited to make a
food web an energy pyramid and a list of all the biotic and abiotic (living and unliving) things in our ecosystem . My group got to
describe the rocky beach/tide pool ecosystem on Deer Island .The biotic organisms are catogorized into smaller groups; herbevors (organisms that only eat producers ),producers ( organisms that convert solar energy to chemical energy. ), carnivors (organisms that only eat meat ) an, hebivors (organisms that eat both produsers and meat forinstance us ) and decomposers
(organisms that break down dead organisms ) .
(class maits observing and colecting organisms in the rocky beach/tide pool ecosystem)
Biotic
Herbivores
In the rocky beach/tide pool ecosystem the herbivors on shore are periwinkles and in the ocean are blue muscels and clams .
Produceres
In this ecosystem the producers in the ocean are kelp, rock weed, knoted wrack, other types of sea wead, algae prodists and fido plankton .
Carnivores
In this ecosystem the carnivors in the ocean are barnacles and jelly's ( jelly fish is incorrect because they are invertabrates and
fish are not ) and on shore are crabs .
Omnivores
In this ecosystem the omnivors in the ocean are zoo plankton and on shore are seagulls,semiplated sand piper and the
herring gull .
Decomposeres
In this ecosystem the decomposers in rhe ocean are briophite on shore are beach flies and on both are bacteria.
(the energy pyramid for this ecosystem)
Abiotic
Air temperature:63ºF Land:peninsula Ocean temperature:60º/62ºF
pH:6-7 slightly acidic
The Rocky Shore faces the Boston Harbor on Deer Island. There are rocks and shells all over the ground. Deer Island is a peninsula
in Winthrop, Massachusetts. There is salt water and lots of rocks that are stuck in the ground, but near the shore you can lift them. The air pretty warm because the peninsula cuts off the wind. Deer Island once was an island until a huricane conected the island to the land with earth it had picked up forming it into a peninsula.
Extra Information
Ecosystems are in danger! Global warming is ruining ecosystems and fast. Here are some things you can do to save these beoutiful ecosystems.
Things you can do
*Not use to much energy(turn of lights when it's not nececary etc.)
